Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

"I'll let you guys torture each other," said short-stacked Mike Ross, selecting the new game.

And those proved to be prophetic words. On the very first hand, Sachin Bhargava raised to 10,500 in the cutoff, earning a call from Jimmy Fricke in the small blind.

Fricke took two and Bhargava changed one. Fricke check-called 20,000 and discarded one on the second draw. Bhargava patted and announced he was betting the pot, making it 64,000. Fricke thought he had fewer chips than that so only called and no bets were made on the last street.

Fricke patted and Bhargava was in trouble, changing his plan and broke a nine, drawing one.

Fricke turned up and Bhargava couldn't peel a better hand. The massive pot went Fricke's way who suddenly rocketed to 200,000.

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Mike Ross was in the big blind, stuffing in his 19,100 over Jimmy Fricke's button-raise. Fricke called off and both drew two on the first draw.

Ross received a seven and immediately spiked the nuts. Fricke was drawing dead on the last draw and Ross scored a vital double.

Nonetheless, the East Coast Mike tried to spin his way further up in the same round but he'd eventually lose all of his chips and headed for the payout desk.
